Jack Alexander Dickson, who was born in January 1917, served in the ranks for 10 years and as a Warrant Officer Class 2 for 12 years, prior to being commissioned as a Lieutenant & Quarter Master in February 1958. Advanced to Captain & Quarter Master in June 1962 and to Major & Quarter Master in June 1966, he was awarded the M.B.E. in the New Year’s Honours List in 1968, the recommendation stating:
‘Major Dickson is shortly to leave the Army after 32 years service in the Black Watch. For the past nine years he has been Quarter- Master and has spent the final years of his service as Quarter-Master H.Q., 48 Gurkha Infantry Brigade and Garrison Staff, Sek Kong.
In the knowledge of his job he ranks as one of the finest Quarter-Masters in the Army. He is, however, far more than just a very efficient Quarter-Master. He is an officer of the highest integrity and with a sense of service and duty second to none. He is unfailingly good humoured and enthusiastic, and remains his calm, cheerful and happy self whatever the pressures placed upon him.
In his present appointment he has had to minister to British, Gurkha and Chinese soldiers with a staff of British and Gurkha soldiers ad Chinese civilians. Not only has he had to look after the normal minor units to be found in any Garrison but the Gurkha Air Platoon, with its complex equipment and aircraft, has been his administrative responsibility too. There has been nothing but the highest praise from the units he looks after, and he has inspired his very mixed staff with a sense of dedication and service that he himself displays. He is highly respected and much liked by officers and men throughout the Brigade and Garrison.
Major Dickson has been a wonderful representative of a wonderful regiment and is above all things a true gentleman. He richly merits an award for the splendid and selfless service he has given to the Army over so many years.’
Dickson was placed on the Retired List in March 1968. 925 Four: Havildar Mir Ahmad, 6/14th Punjab Regiment, killed/died in Singapore, on 15 February 1942
